Where is the air conditioning filter of the Livina located?

The air conditioning filter of the Livina is located under the dashboard, inside the decorative panel in front of the passenger seat. Poor maintenance of the air conditioning filter can lead to the accumulation of dust and dirt on the filter plate, radiator, evaporator, and fin surfaces, causing airflow blockage. Additionally, the air conditioning system may experience reduced cooling and heating efficiency, increased power consumption, noise, and a shortened lifespan. The Livina is a compact car designed by Nissan, primarily competing with models such as the POLO and Fit. The Livina has dimensions of 4249mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1577mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm.
I've changed the Nissan Livina's cabin air filter many times, and its location is quite obvious—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the glove box first, empty out any items inside, then push up or pull down with a bit of force, depending on the model. Most require removing a few clips or screws, and inside is the filter housing. Replacing it with a new one is pretty straightforward; you can do it yourself. Generally, check it every year or 10,000 km. Otherwise, the airflow might become weak, and the air quality inside the car could worsen. I recommend replacing it regularly to save money and stay healthy—just remember to wear gloves to keep your hands clean.
I remember the first time I changed the air conditioning filter for my Livina last year, it wasn't hidden too deep, just inside the glove box. As soon as I opened it and found the clip, a simple twist revealed the filter. After clearing out the old dust, I slotted in the new filter—the whole process took less than ten minutes, saving me the hassle of a trip to the repair shop. If your car is older, the filter might get clogged with leaves or mud, affecting cooling efficiency or even causing unpleasant odors. I drive on the highway every week and found that this little bit of maintenance really improves driving comfort, especially in summer when the air feels much fresher.
